Of Course––poem by Dorothy
OF COURSE
There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.
— Rumi
Yes, of course,
that is the thing we want, touch of Spirit
on body,
delight of soul enfleshed and opened,
trembling at last,
how could we not remember
how it was before,
when You were not there,
when all we had
was this cloud of longing
and did not even know
what it was
we were looking for?
—Dorothy Walters
